Beer Batter Tempura
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. These sound very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups lager, your favorite, chilled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- cooking oil, for frying
- 250 grams fresh long beans, cut into 3-4 inch pieces (or green beans), (8 oz)
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- soy sauce, as needed
- spring onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, beer, and salt until just mixed together. Batter should be thin and lumpy, do not over mix. Set bowl aside for 15 minutes.
- Prep the vegetables.
- Heat 1/2 to 1 inch of oil in a heavy deep pan or pot to 190 C (375 F).
- Dip 10 to 12 pieces of long bean (or green beans) into the batter, carefully add to the hot oil. Fry until light golden brown, remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat with other vegetables, frying only one type at a time, and not overcrowding the pan.
- Mix together soy sauce as desired and sliced spring onion to use a dipping sauce.
- Serve tempura with the sauce, enjoy.
